Hello hello and welcome to another recap!
Can I tell you how surprised I am by not only how much I read in June, but how many of those books were worthy of all the stars??? Why can't every month be like this? I'm hoping and praying that July is just as grand!!
June happened to be a busy month for me and my children. Two of them graduated, one from middle school and one from high school, and we celebrate every milestone around here. It was a big deal LOL. I'm so excited for the new chapters my daughters will face. One will be starting high school, one will be starting university, and one will be finishing her last year of university. I'm so proud of my girls!!
Okay so back to all the books. My June reading was as follows...
There were a lot of standouts this month. I was pleasantly surprised by how many books I fell in love with.
The other books I read and would recommend were:
Once again, I bought nothing. Aside from the few books I borrowed from the Kindle Unlimited library, I've kept my wallet closed. I hope I can continue this trend for the foreseeable future.

Hello hello and welcome to another recap!
While April wasn't the greatest month for me, May has definitely seen me make somewhat of a comeback. I'm still not reading as much, but my mind is in a better place. I'm crotcheting again and am finding a peace I haven't known in a long time.
I've been using my downtime (some of it at least) to come up with new ideas for this blog. Activities that will keep me (and therefore you) engaged with it. So look out for my Throwback Thursday posts and I'll be doing sale posts again so we can all grab up those cheap AF kindle reads!
So my May reading was as follows...
There was a big standout this month: The Ember Glen Trilogy
I happened across a review of this trilogy by Jessica @Chatterbooks Book Blog and it drew me to one-click. I figured I couldn't go wrong because it was free with Kindle Unlimited. It was so much better than I expected and I recommend it to anyone who loves dystopian romance and darkness.
The other books I read and would recommend were:

Hello hello and welcome to another recap!
I had to continue my mental break from all things internet, which included my blog and my social media. I've been crocheting and spending time with my kids—activities that are certain to jolt me back into a better head space. And honestly, I'm feeling a lot better. So hopefully this means you'll be seeing me again all over your blogs, pages and feeds.
As you can guess, April was not a great reading month for me, but here's what I've got...

I haven't bought any books in a while. And lucky for me, most of the books I've added to my TBR are in Kindle Unlimited.
I can only hope my May reading is so much better than what I've been going through for the last several months. And I hope you find only the best reads!

Hello hello and welcome to another recap!
I'm so sorry that I've been so absent. I took a mental break and forgot to share that with anyone. My bad entirely.
But I'm back.
Some of you may have already noticed by my comments on your blogs or my likes on your posts, etc.
So as you can guess, March wasn't the greatest month for me, at least bookwise, but here's what I've got...

Hello hello and welcome to another recap!
February was a weird winter month here in Toronto. One minute it was almost balmy, the next we've got inches of snow. Even as I type this, 8 inches have fallen and we're in MARCH!!
